The Management Team of Rothschild Trust announces the completion of the buy-out of Rothschild Trust from Rothschild & Co, via a special purpose acquisition vehicle. The new brand name for the business is Sequent.

Richard Martin, Executive Chairman of Sequent, said, “The brand name Sequent signifies continuity and succession which is at the heart of what we do for our clients. It also represents the continuation of our business model, our values and our behaviours as an independent firm.”

He said, “The reaction to the transaction has been most encouraging and positive. We are grateful for the support and loyalty of our valued clients and our friends in the intermediary communities around the world.”

“We also wish to thank Rothschild & Co, the Sellers, and we look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with them.”

He further said, “Our immediate priority is to affect a seamless transition which is largely unnoticeable to our clients except for the change of the name.”
